Tekst piosenki
Regulators We regulate any stealing of his property We're damn good too But you can't be any geek off the street Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean. Earn your keep! Regulators! Mount up! It was a clear black night, a clear white moon Warren G was on the streets, trying to consume Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some phones Rolling in my ride, chilling all alone Just hit the east side of the LBC On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G Seen a car full of girls ain't no need to tweak All you skirts know what's up with 213 So I hooks a left on 21 and Lewis Some brothers shooting dice so I said "Let's do this" I jumped out the ride, and said "What's up?" Some brothers pulled some gats so I said "I'm stuck." Since these girls peeping me I'mma glide and swerve These hookers looking so hard they straight hit the curb Onto bigger better things than some horny tricks I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix I'm getting jacked, I'm breaking myself I can't believe they taking Warren's wealth They took my rings, they took my Rolex I looked at the brother said "Damn, what's next?" They got my homey hemmed up and they all around Can't none of them see him if they going straight pound-for-pound They wanna come up real quick before they start to clown I best pull out my strap and lay them busters down They got guns to my head I think I'm going down I can't believe this happening in my own town If I had wings I would fly Let me contemplate I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold Now they dropping and yelling It's a tad bit late Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate I laid all them busters down I let my gat explode Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode If you want skirts sit back and observe I just left a gang of hoes over there on the curb Now Nate got the freaks And that's a known fact Before I got jacked I was on the same track Back up back up 'cause it's on N A T E and me The Warren to the G Just like I thought They were in the same spot In need of some desperate help But Nate Dogg and the G-child Were in need of something else One of them dames was sexy as hell I said "oh, I like your size." She said "my car's broke down and you seem real nice Would you let me ride?" I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell The next stop is the Eastside Motel I'm tweaking Into a whole new era G-Funk Step to this I dare you Funk On a whole new level The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble Chords Strings We brings Melody G-Funk Where rhythm is life And life is rhythm If you know like I know You don't wanna step to this It's the G-Funk era Funked out with a gangster twist If you smoke like I smoke Then you're high like everyday And if your ass is a buster 213 will regulate
